Chocolate Swiss Roll

I have never been good at making jellyroll cakes, but figured I should try a few more just to see if it gets better. First up on the list, this Chocolate Swiss Roll cake! The cake takes a few steps starting with melting the chocolate, oil, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt. I don’t really have…

Lemon Blueberry Cake Roll

Jelly roll cakes look so fun, but they make me nervous because there’s quite a few things that can go wrong. I don’t know if it’s just self punishment or what, but I decided to do a whole month of jelly roll cakes so here goes…. The cake itself was easy to make and one…

Banana Pudding Cheesecake

I love banana pudding and I love cheesecake; but I wasn’t sure what to expect with this Banana Pudding Cheesecake. The recipe itself isn’t necessarily difficult, but it is quite time consuming. You’ll start by making your own vanilla wafer crust. Crush some vanilla wafers and mix in butter and sugar – then bake. As…

Banoffee Cupcakes

I love Great British Bake Off and have heard them mention Banoffee Pie many times, but I’ve never actually tried it. While I’m not actually trying it now I did find this recipe for Banoffee Cupcakes and thought those would be fun to make. This is a pretty simple recipe, though it has a few…

Cheerwine Cherry Cupcakes

Last year I made this Cheerwine Chocolate Cake so this year I decided to try something a little different and try these Cheerwine Cherry Cupcakes. Honestly this recipe is incredibly simple because you use a cake mix. While I love baking things from scratch, I’m not ashamed to say that I love a boxed cake…

Ultra-Vanilla Cupcakes with Easy Vanilla Frosting

It’s been a while since I made cupcakes and I wanted to make some to celebrate a co-workers birthday, so I decided to try these vanilla cupcakes. So, this recipe is quite different than most that I’ve tried in that your batter is more chunky than smooth. Full disclosure: this freaked me out a little…

Mint Chocolate Cake

I realize mint isn’t necessarily the first thing you think of when St. Patrick’s Day comes to mind, but mint is green and I had this on my list of things to bake so we’re going with it. This cake is pretty easy to make, especially since you’re only making one layer. I was a…

Chocolate Tres Leches Cake

I’m a big fan of tres leches cake, especially since it’s so easy. I’ve made a normal tres leches cake before, but happened to see this chocolate tres leches cake and knew that I had to try it. I mean honestly, how could it be bad?! It’s a super easy cake to make. You’re using…

Pumpkin Cupcakes

Happy Thanksgiving! If you’re still looking for a thanksgiving dessert then here’s one that’s fun, slightly different, but also familiar (because of the pumpkin). I know I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. I love it when recipes have the ingredients listed as part of the instructions so I don’t have to keep scrolling…

Black Velvet Cake

It’s Halloween so why not making something fun like this Black Velvet Cake? I think I mention this every time, but I love when people include the ingredients and amounts in the instructions section! I’ve noticed the last two recipes I’ve made included a toggle button called “Cook Mode” when you’re looking at the recipe…
